How To Be Unhappy

Make little things bother you.

Don't just let them, MAKE them.

Lose your perspective on things and keep it lost:
don't put first things first.

Get yourself a good worry,
one about which you cannot do anything.

Be a perfectionist, which means not that you work

hard to do your best, but that you condemn yourself and others

for not achieving perfection.

Be right. Be always right. Be the only one who is
always right, and be rigid in your rightness.

Don't trust or believe people, or accept them at anything
but their worst and weakest.

Be suspicious. Insist that others always
have hidden motives.

Always compare yourself unfavorably to others.
This guarantees instant misery.

Take personally everything that happens to you.

Don't give yourself whole-heartily to anyone or anything.

FAILURE! WHAT IS IT?

Failure doesn't mean YOU are a failure;
it does mean you haven't succeeded yet.

Failure doesn't mean you have accomplished nothing;
it does mean you have learned something.

Failure doesn't mean you have been a fool;
it does mean you had a lot of faith.

Failure doesn't mean you have been disgraced;
it does mean you were willing to try.

Failure doesn't mean you don't have it;
it does mean you have to do something in a different way.

Failure doesn't mean you are inferior;
it does mean you are not perfect.

Failure doesn't mean you've wasted your life;
it does mean you've a reason to start afresh.

Failure doesn't mean you should give up;
it does mean you should try harder.

Failure doesn't mean you'll never make it;
it does mean it will take a little longer.
